Re: R32 Roll Call

i have not pulled an ecu on the R yet but i did on my b5 S4 and on my mk4 gti, both were very simple and quite easy, there should be a DIY on vortex for how to do it but like i said, very easy and only takes 2-3 mins max.

Re: R32 Roll Call

how much does it cost to have your ecu taken out? what was the turn around time..?

might do this while i get some work done on my car before i track it again. (sleeping beauty)

And now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Re: R32 Roll Call

Hard to say since I went from a stock intake, but on Vortex in the .:R32 forums, its V-flow or nothing. I just went with majority vote. Absolutely no complaints here though.

Re: R32 Roll Call

Sorry to hijack but how do you like the vflow intake? Was thinking of getting one for my gli and have heard mixed things.

As for those asking about the UM tune, we (Myself, SLHazy and GINCH) sent our ECU's to Gabe at Bluewater Performance down in Colorado. Gabe's customer service was outstanding and he was great to deal with. Tune was $299, Launch Control was an extra $100.

Re: R32 Roll Call

^ let me know where you end up getting it flashed. I'm on the same boat.

so it looks like the UM flash is $299+ frieght from the guys in BC, contemplating that or waiting on a deal from the states

Re: R32 Roll Call

To the guys who have the UnitedMotorsports tune in their .:R, how did you go about getting it flashed in? Im thinking of going with the guy in BC to do it as he is the only Canadian dealer for UM but I wanted to see what everyone else went with

Re: R32 Roll Call

Jealous. If I had an R it would be out in the snow! Cars were made to be driven, drive them.

Re: R32 Roll Call

^ yeah, thats the plan for the upcoming winter. Can't wait!!

Re: R32 Roll Call

**** that. Most fun I ever had in my .:R was in the deep snow!!!!!

Agreed! Plus VW designed the front bumper as a super effective snow scoop anyways. Might as well use it people!
